IBF International Consulting works worldwide since 1977 on development cooperation projects financed by international organisations such as the European Commission, the World Bank, the Asian Development Bank and the African Development Bank.
IBF has built a solid reputation for its knowledge, good practices, reliability, as well as for its ability to successfully implement projects within its core sectors: educational and social reforms, institutional support, economic development, trade and regional integration.
The Foundation complements IBF's activities with a non profit dimension, where IBF makes its expertise in education, micro enterprises, and network available to the benefit of youngsters from developing countries.

The IBF Foundation, with the active contribution of its network of experts, aims at:

• Increasing learning and personal growth opportunities for youngsters in developing countries and generating perspectives of employment for them.
• Offering unique opportunities to youngsters from Europe to learn and experience work in developing countries.
